2. 1 self-attested copies of your Address proof.
3. 1 Passport Size Color Photograph (Please paste the photo on the KYC form and sign across)

And they do provide the facility to link existing Demat account with the trading account with them. For doing so you will have to submit the Client Master of his existing DP. However linking the outside DP with the trading account with them will place some restrictions. Firstly you won’t be able to trade BTST and secondly you won’t be able to sell delivery through them The better option would be to open a Demat account with them at the time of account opening.

Pricing Plans
They provide multiple trade plans and depending on your need you can choose one of them.
•Trade @ 0.7 Paise – All the trades are charged at 0.007%. This plan would be more expensive then some of the other plan that they are offering. It would be good for some people who are more comfortable with paying brokerage based on the amount of trade they are doing which is more like how the full service broker charges brokerage. In this plan, trading is charged at Rs 7 per lot.
• Rs. 15 Per Order : This plan is simple to understand which is that it charges Rs 15 per order irrespective of the volume of the trade. So whether you are a day trader, investor or F & O trader, you end up paying Rs 15/- per trade.
• Unlimited Trading Per Month : They provide unlimited trading for F&O, cash and futures for Rs 1,899. Once you pay this there will be no more brokerage charges per trade. But you still have to pay STT and other taxes payable to government.
• Unlimited Trading Per Month(Currency) : If you are a currency trader, they provide you a facility to trade unlimitedly for Rs 999 per month.
